Submerge

This 12″ x 12″ abstract painting was executed on stretched canvas with alcohol inks. It is an example of the wet in wet process.
As I have imagined and remembered being below water, while looking up at the sky above the surface, I have sometimes experienced a certain dread that something would bar my path back to fresh air. In this inky water which is most common in the “fresh” bodies of water here in Texas, I get to exercise my faith that the surface and the sky are not too far away, and nothing is hiding within the murkiness to impede me.
